Uzbekistan–European Union relations are the international relations between the Republic of Uzbekistan and the supranational European Union. == History == The 1989 Trade and Co-operation Agreement, signed with the former Soviet Union, served as a basis for the development of bilateral relations with the EU before signing in April 15, 1992, of "the Memorandum of mutual understanding between the Government of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Commission of the European Communities (CEC)". On November 16, 1994 diplomatic relations were established. In January 1995 the Mission of Uzbekistan to the European Communities was set up in Brussels. On 1 July 1999 the Partnership and Co-operation Agreement (PCA)〔(Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) )〕 entered into force, which was initially signed in April 1996 and became the basis for further development of the bilateral relations with the EU. The PCA provides an appropriate framework for the development of political relations; to support the efforts of the Republic of Uzbekistan to consolidate its democracy and to develop its economy; to promote trade and investment; and to foster co-operation in legislative, economic, social, financial, civil scientific, technological and cultural fields. Respect for democracy, principles of international law, human rights, and the principles of the market economy are the essential elements on which the EU-Uzbek partnership is based.〔(Uzbekistan-European Union relations ) - Mission of Uzbekistan to European Union〕 Since 2011, the opportunities for advancing bilateral relations have further increased, as the EU and Uzbekistan signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the field of energy and the EU established its diplomatic representation in Tashkent in 2012. On 28 November 2013 Vice-President of the European Commission, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton paid a visit to Uzbekistan and had meeting with President of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uzbekistan–European Union relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
